HP 355 G2 machines are business class machines for office works, not for games. There are many games machines around, HP sells many machines called Gaming laptops specially the Omen series.

There are few generaions of the Omen now, the latest generation uses high end Gen 8 processors, SSD, high end video cards  and up to 32GB of RAM

But i bought this, i dont really have money for gaming high end laptops, j think this laptop should be running games better

Have you got the AMD E series processor? If so I can't believe you are able to run any sigificant game at all let alone better than you are. Seriously as some genius once said "it is what it is". The E series is weaker than many cell phone and tablet processors and is just not made to render video fast enough to play games enjoyably.

What do you suggest to improve,only processor or something else maybe?

Well the processor is soldered to the motherboard so not upgradeable and a better motherboard for that model would likely cost you more than you spent for the laptop. More memory will not help gaming enought to be very noticeable and even a faster drive like an SSD would not help gaming much. The vendors out there like Best Buy do a very poor job of educating buyers on just what various hardware can actually do; i.e the very serious compromises that have to be made to buy a laptop for $200-300. The only way for you to have a laptop that will game is to try to sell that one and try to scrape together at least $7-800 or the equivalent in your currency as that is what it will cost. Or you could look on eBay or even amazon.com and try to find a used or refurbished laptop. I saw the other day Staples was selling a refurbished Zbook Mobile workstation that I paid about $2000 to buy in 2012 for $299. Great deal.
